I closed my eyes. I could feel Jean's breasts press into my chest. Loose strands of her long flowing brunette hair tickled my nose. Her breathes, initially short and rapid, slowed to a relaxed warm pulse against my cheek. Her clothes reeked of sweat infused with the stench of fired gunpowder. I could still hear the last echoes of machine gun fire fade across the darkened walls of the enclosure like the staccato clicking of a tap dancer's shoes slowly drifting off a stage.I popped my eyes open. I tried to step back from my girlfriend and focus on her face. My head commenced to swirl around my shoulders. Figuratively. Not literally. This isn't a horror story, after all. I felt light footed, floating in air. In a windstorm. Whatever I ate last roiled my gut into a ball that kept inflating until I wished my gut would burst and end my misery. Puking did not seem out of the question. I tried to recall what I ate last. And immediately regretted the thought of food. I tried to turn off my brain.I squeezed my eyes shut. I took a deep breath and focused my thoughts. A brilliant blue light manifested within my brain. I surrendered my will and let the light encompass me. A black shadow took form bathed in the blue light and gradually solidified into a human shape. "Are you okay, baby?" I heard the figure ask me.I jumped out of my stupor with all the alacrity of a cowboy stepping on a rattlesnake. My eyes opened wide as saucers. I lost my balance and fell to the floor. I found myself prone on a sheet of pure white crystal, extending in every direction as far as the eye could see. I struggled to my knees. My eyes squinted from the brilliant rainbow-hued light streaming through the massive translucent wall of the crystal city of Dluwulaxa spread out before me. I was back on the crystal world of the bird people, the Dluwulaxa, floating in the sky on the lenticular clouds anchored to the summit of Mount Rainier. The black shadow stepped to me and blocked the blinding light from my face deflected by the crystal walls.She stood before me. Tall. Svelte. Muscular. Dark skinned. Naked. Long black hair cascaded over her shoulders and across her sculpted breasts. The seductress. Kinqalatlala. The black witch. "Oh shit!" I blurted out."You are not happy to see me?" Kinqalatlala grabbed my arms with her firm hands and pulled me to my feet. She could as easily have stabbed me with her hands. In fact, she had stabbed me with her hand. She had killed me. Killed me by stabbing me through my chest with her hand. Kinqalatlala was a shapeshifter with the disconcerting ability to transform her hands into steel blades. She had stabbed me through my chest and killed me, sending me to the spirit world to help her search for the tlogwe, the special gift of magical powers. The magic which, among other things, allowed one to travel between the worlds of the living and the dead. This was a magic which could only be bestowed by the tlogwala, the keeper of the tlogwe. This was a magic which could only be bestowed by the tlogwala on someone deemed worthy enough, brave enough, or foolish enough to enter the spirit world, willingly or not. The world of the dead. Problem was, the only way for a mere mortal like me to enter the world of the dead was by becoming, well, dead. By dying. By giving up the world of the living. Kinqalatlala killed me to send me into the world of the dead on a fool's errand. As I learned, with the connivance of my own parrot, the hyacinth macaw Princess Tara, the manifestation of the blue witch Blue Tara, the mother of all the Taras, the coven of witches comprised of a pandemonium of parrots and one black cat. Turns out, Kinqalatlala didn't actually need my help to find the tlogwala or to discover the magic of the tlogwe. That's because I learned she was the tlogwala. And the tlogwe was hers to give to anyone she chose. So she chose me. But her gift to me, if you can call killing me a gift, was not altogether altruistic.

God of Desire presents Sanskrit tales of the Indian deity Kāmadeva as he battles the ascetic god Śiva, assists the powerful goddess Devī, and incarnates as the charming son of Kṛṣṇa. Exploring the imagery and symbolism of the god of desire in art and ritual, Catherine Benton reflects on the connection of Kāmadeva to parrots, makaras (gharials), and apsarases (celestial nymphs), and to playful devotional rituals designed to win his favor. In addition to examining the Hindu literature, Benton also highlights two Buddhist forms of Kamadeva, the demonic Māra, who tries to persuade the Buddha to trade enlightenment for the delights of a woman, and the ever-youthful Mañjuśri, who cuts through ignorance with the bodhisattva sword of wisdom. Tales of Kāmadeva from the Hindu and Buddhist traditions present desire as a powerful force continually redefining the boundaries of chaos and order and gently pulling beyond the ephemeral lure of passionate longings.

My earliest memory ever is the first time I successfully walked. Me and my mom. Well, of course, my mom already knew how to walk. But not me. Me and my mom. We were in the kitchen of our first family home. Dad must have been at work. I can't even remember how old I was. Couldn't have been too old. I stood up by myself, leaning against a kitchen counter. My mom walked to the other side of the small kitchen, big to a little tot like me who had never successfully figured out this walking trick before. She wordlessly motioned for me to come to her. I remember feeling scared to death to try, fearing I would plop face down on the yellow linoleum floor if I dared, never to get up.I desperately wanted my mom to come to me, but my mom kept motioning me to come to her. I finally relented and pushed off against the kitchen counter. One step. Then two. A third. A fourth and fifth. Thinking back on this adventure all these years later I can recall we had a small kitchen. Not too many steps required. I fell into my mother's arms, upright, triumphant. Spent.That's life. Challenges and conquests. Falling flat on your face on the linoleum, picking yourself up, and trying again. They say death and taxes are the only things you can count on in life. I say bull. Taxes are for suckers. Just ask any politician. And death is a con game dreamed up by holy rollers, preachers and grifters. I have learned that death is just another challenge to overcome. Challenge itself is the only thing you can count on in life. No matter how many challenges you face and conquer, there will always be another challenge knocking you face down on the linoleum. Comes the true challenge when you grow up and become an adult. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. No, not the ones you think. Love. Desire. Ambition. Faith. These are the greatest challenges of all. Overcoming these challenges is what makes life such a bitch. Love. Desire. Ambition. Faith. Without them, life is so simple, believe me.

Outsiders see things others don't. Blessed with status, love, wealth and connections the Tennisons seemed the most enviable of families - until Antonella and Matteo Fullardi, dangerously attractive Italian siblings and offspring of an Italian fashion dynasty, enter their well-managed lives. Calligrapher Katherine, gallery owner Rick and their student son Josh discover that the Fullardis are just as unsettling and alluring as the exotic parrots that now inhabit their tranquil London garden. But this damaged pair are the catalyst that propel the Tennisons into a spiral of chaos, calling into question their place in a changing world of new money, new morality and new menace.
